antispam not working?

So far so good with this installation, Zimbra is really an amazing AJAX application, and I see it replacing alot of Exchange systems. My box is running FC4 and zcs-3.0.0_M2_746.FC4.tgz and most everything works, except for problems with FF 1.5 (but I already read about the firefox problems), and antispam.

I've searched high and low in these forums for configuring/testing the antispam built into Zimbra to no avail. I don't think it's working, nothing has showed up in the Junk folder after a week of testing, but we're getting tons of spam in our inbox. I've changed the delete and tag setting as low at 4 tag/20 delete, and as zimbra user zmcontrol stop/zmcontrol start. No changes. I would like to know if there is a test script that sends a spam message to see if the antispam catches it. I used to have this for qmail and it worked well for debugging.

I looked through the logs and didn't see anything. All services stop and start correctly. Oh other important point, clamav IS catching viruses, it just looks like spamassassin isn't working. I even added some RBL's last night, and still spam in the inbox. Any help? Thanks.

You can goggle for spam test message and get something there. Have you been moving your spam to the Junk folder and traning? zmsatrain will populate the SA database and should get things going. Also can you look at a message in your inbox and use 'View Original' to see if any Spam headers are added. If so copy/past those headers here for us to check.

Looking for new beta users -> Co-Founder of Acompli. Previously worked at Zimbra (and Yahoo! & VMware) since 2005.

...and I have searched for amavisd.... played with the amavisd.conf.in a little bit, and nothing has worked. I Googled for spam test several times, and every site I came across was for open relay testing. The one I found sends 3 kinds of tests, but they look fishy and the site was trying to sell an antispam product so I doubted it results.

...three questions, 1) How do I get it to set the test=[none] to actually run spam tests on incoming mail? 2) Turn the autolearn on (I'm assuming this will run the zmtrainsa on the junk folders for all users?) and 3) why is X-Spam-Level blank?

This fixes the rest with actually running zmtrainsa from the command-line (requires fooling the /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf/Parser.pm file about SA version number) thanks for this one unilogic!!:
